"Are they Rat People's servants?" Meng Chao asked Ice Storm with his mouth.

"It's not like, I have never seen such a skilled Ratman servant, nor have I seen such a brave Ratman servant, at least, I haven't seen it in the Blood Skull Arena." Ice Storm said solemnly shook his head.

Meng Chao thought for a while, then suddenly turned over and jumped off the ruined wall, and disappeared in the smoke and dust before the ice storm stopped.

After a while, he sneaked back with two things on his shoulders.

Icestorm stared intently at what he had placed behind the ruined wall.

It turned out to be two corpses wearing hoods and cloaks.

In order to break through the line of defense of the gladiators and temple guards just now, these elite rat people wearing hoods and cloaks suffered a lot of casualties, leaving corpses everywhere.

After capturing the granaries and arsenals, the Rat People were extremely excited.

In the process of swarming up and looting weapons and mandala fruits, no one noticed that the two corpses disappeared.

However, Ice Storm didn't understand, what did Meng Chao do after stealing the corpse?

"Sometimes, a corpse can reveal far more information to us than a living person. After all, if you meet a living person with a strong will, even if you serve him with severe torture, you may not be able to pry his mouth open."

Meng Chao knelt down on one knee and examined the two corpses carefully.

He first touched the muscles and bones of the two corpses inch by inch, not letting go of every joint from elbow to knee.

They also combed their thick hair to check for the growth of lice and fleas.

Then, he closed his eyes again, and carefully stroked the calluses on the soles of the corpse's feet and palms.

Finally, he opened his shining eyes, pried open the mouth of the corpse, and carefully examined the oral health of the corpse.

That concentrated and even enthusiastic appearance reminded Ice Storm of his mother's friends—the wizards who would secretly dig graves in order to study necromancy.

Ice Storm asked with some horror: "So, have these two corpses told you any valuable information?"

"certainly."

Meng Chao put the index finger and middle finger of his right hand together, pointed at different parts of the corpse, and talked eloquently, "First of all, from the outside, neither of these two corpses can be seen to be of an obvious clan, but a fusion of ligers, tigers, The characteristics of various beasts such as artiodactyls and even reptiles mean that their blood is very complex and they are very typical rat people.

"However, the bones and joints of these two corpses are far thicker and harder than ordinary orcs.

"This is the result of years of devouring high-energy food and conducting targeted training. The spiritual energy penetrates into the bone marrow and continuously strengthens the bones.

"Similarly, their muscle fibers are stronger than those of ordinary orcs. From the analysis of tendons and bones, I think they can easily wield huge swords weighing hundreds of catties, and make dazzling slashing movements—— Even for the Turanians, who are born with supernatural powers, this is an extremely high standard.

"Also, I noticed that the bones of the two corpses are covered with a large number of old fractures. The cracks are not too long and deep. It should not be due to fighting, but caused by high-intensity training. However, after the fracture and fracture, They received proper treatment in time and did not affect their combat effectiveness.

"In the past month, when I was helping you select servants, I also checked the bones and muscles of hundreds of Ratmen.

"Many rat people suffered injuries of varying degrees when picking mandala fruits or hunting wild animals in their hometown. Most of the injuries were far lighter than those of the two corpses. It was because of the lack of professional treatment that caused All kinds of aftereffects."

Hearing what Meng Chao said, Ice Storm also got involved, carefully groping for a corpse's wrist, elbow, and shoulder blade, and even gently poked the corpse's shoulder blade with a sharp ice pick, but it couldn't go in.

She nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Indeed, this guy's arm bones are as hard as iron, which is beyond the level that ordinary rat minion servants can achieve.

"To be able to train such a strong soldier, there must be a team behind this guy with rich experience, complete facilities, and sufficient resources!"

"That's what I'm going to say."

Meng Chao said, "From the analysis of the cocoons on the palms and soles of the two corpses, it can be seen that they have received long-term, arduous, and professional training—this kind of training is definitely not something that a rat village can provide. , and should be provided.

"However, the more important evidence is their teeth."

Ice Storm said: "Teeth?"

"That's right, after flesh and blood absorb spiritual energy, the metabolism speeds up, and many traces of the past will be erased in three to five months or even less, but the traces left on the teeth cannot be fooled .”

Meng Chao opened the mouths of the two corpses without hesitation, and signaled to Ice Storm: "Look, the upper and lower rows of teeth of these two corpses are relatively neatly arranged, but both have quite serious caries."

Ice Storm looked down, and it was indeed as Meng Chao said.

But she didn't understand: "So what?"

"The neat arrangement of teeth means that they often chew bones and bite tough meat, and subtly massage and squeeze the gums; as for dental caries, it means that they often enjoy sweets and irritating secret medicines."

Meng Chao said, "You know, in the era of prosperity, no matter how miserable the life of the Rat People is, there is always no shortage of food.

"It's just that, three meals a day, most of the time, the rat people's food is datura fruit, and, in order to save fuel, auxiliary materials and spices, they are eaten raw, cold, and at most baked .

"The texture of datura fruit is soft and dense, mild and non-irritating in nature, this way of eating, no matter how much you eat, it is difficult to cause dental caries.

"For ordinary rat people, whether it's fried datura fruit dipped in sour cream, or sweets like datura puree mixed with honey, it's not easy to eat.

"As for the flesh and blood of beasts, let alone, they are all good things to be offered to the city for the samurai master to enjoy.

"There is also the secret medicine refined by the witch doctor. Although it can activate the muscles and bones, strengthen the blood, and make it easier for the warriors of the clan to activate the effect of the power of the totem, but because the refining process is not good enough, the finished product is often full of strong irritation. Even corrosive, it is easy to damage the tooth enamel of the user.

"A lot of careless clan warriors don't have the concept of oral hygiene protection at all. It's not surprising that they grow a mouth full of rotten teeth over time!

"Here comes the problem. From the appearance of these two corpses, they are obviously standard rat people, but their oral conditions show that they have been eating a lot of high-energy food, totem beast flesh and blood, and secrets like clan warriors for many years. The medicine is better than many house mouse servants and even low-level warriors in Pointe-Noire City.

"Who exactly is supporting them behind their backs?"

After the death of his mother who was a witch, he escaped from the night watchmen, fled all the way from the Land of Light to Turanze, and hibernated almost perfectly in the city of Noire for two years. Ice Storm is naturally not stupid.

After Meng Chao's pointing, her mind turned, and she immediately understood: "You mean, the so-called 'Arrival of the Horned Rat God' is definitely man-made, and these elite rat people wearing hoods and cloaks are carefully crafted by the mastermind behind the scenes. A tool to set off a frenzy of rat people in Black Point City?"

"That's right, if we want to escape the Bloodhoof Clan's territory smoothly, we must rely on the earth-shaking power of the Rat People Frenzy. Therefore, it is very important for us to find out the truth about the 'Descent of the Horned Rat God'."

Meng Chao pondered, "The other party's purpose is definitely not just to save all the Rat People in Blackhorn City - since the other party can train such elite Rat People fighters, there is no reason to rescue a group of rabble and increase their logistics supplies." It's a heavy burden.

"unless……"

When Meng Chao said this, he suddenly realized something, and raised his eyes to look in the direction of the arsenal and the granary.

After discovering that these elite rat people wearing hoods and cloaks were ridiculously strong in combat, Meng Chao firmly locked on to the surviving "hooded cloaks" within his vision.

Even during the autopsy just now, Ice Storm was watching every move of these guys.

Sure enough, when most of the skinny rat slave workers threw themselves at the mountains of mandala fruits and the gleaming swords, guns, swords and halberds.

But there was a team of hooded cloaks who gathered quietly and hurriedly left the granary and arsenal.

"Where are they going?"

Meng Chao became curious.

"Could it be that their goals are not just granaries and arsenals?"

He muttered to himself, "That's right, what is stored in the granaries and arsenals are only the most common Datura fruits and crudely made weapons.

"These things are certainly treasures for the slave workers of the rat people, but they are nothing to the elite rat people who have received professional training for a long time and eat the flesh and blood of totem beasts.

"The main envoys behind them took great pains to make such a big commotion. The purpose must not only be to get a few mandala fruits, but a few ordinary weapons are as simple as that!"

Meng Chao and Ice Storm looked at each other.

The two quietly retreated from the ruins, and followed behind the hooded cloaks not too far away.

I saw these guys advancing in the blood skull arena with ease.

Except for encountering the ruins collapsed by the explosion and stopping to observe for a while, there was no disturbance by any side roads.

It seems that the internal structure of the blood skull arena is quite familiar, and the purpose is very clear.

There are also many hooded cloaks along the way, who got out of nowhere and joined their team.

Behind these hooded cloaks, there are bulging animal skin packages on their backs.

Judging from the size of the package, it doesn't look like a weapon inside, but rather a large tool with a complex structure.

Soon, this elite team of rat people with mysterious origins arrived at their destination.

The familiar scene in front of them made Meng Chao and Bing Fengfeng feel a sense of absurdity in their hearts.

The destination of these guys turned out to be the Bloodskull Temple that they had just ransacked!
